Join Hudson Community Ed for an extraordinary two-day adventure to Duluth, MN—where Lake Superior meets vibrant history and scenic beauty! This carefully planned getaway invites you to experience the very best of Minnesota’s famous port city.

Dive into the wonders of the Great Lakes Aquarium, uncover the splendor of the Glensheen Historic Mansion, and bask in the beauty of the Duluth Rose Garden at Leif Erickson Park. Throughout the trip, you’ll be surrounded by Duluth’s stunning lakeside views and fall colors.

Stay in comfort at the Inn on Lake Superior (a 2020 Property of the Year Award winning hotel), located in the lively Canal Park district. The hotel features Canal Park view rooms or Lakeside Rooms with private patios or balconies.

• Stroll to the iconic lighthouse and marvel at the Aerial Lift Bridge.
• Browse local shops and boutiques.
• Opt for additional excursions (not covered in tour fees) like the SS William A. Irvin Museum, a Vista Fleet lake cruise, or a trip to Enger Tower for breathtaking city and lake views.

Dining highlights include lunches at the Black Woods Grille and the revolving Harbor 360 Restaurant atop the Radisson Hotel, both offering unparalleled views. Your hotel stay includes a complimentary hot breakfast, nightly smores on the lakeside patio, and dinner is on your own—perfect for savoring the local flavors of Canal Park’s eclectic eateries.

As we journey back to Hudson, enjoy a stop at the Richard I. Bong Veterans Historical Center and a scenic drive through Wisconsin’s autumn landscape.
